Building The Dome

Three Students at the New Jersey School of Architecture undertook a project to construct a 1/8" = 1' scale model of Fillippo Brunelleschi's Dome of the Florence Cathedral. The dome was modeled entirely in Rhino 3D, a NURBS modeling tool. It was then constructed on Z-Corporation 310 3D printers, over the course of several months. The completed dome is 28" square by 26" tall.
